Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

Unsupervised Cross-Regional and Cross-Year Adaptation by Climate Indicator Discrepancy for Crop Classification

open access: yesJournal of Remote Sensing
Large-scale model transfer facilitates crop classification in unlabeled sample regions. However, due to the spectral differences in the satellite image time series (SITS) of the same crop type caused by variations in a crop-growing environment between ...

RESULTS OF THE NORTH DAKOTA LAND VALUATION MODEL FOR THE 2005 AGRICULTURAL REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT [PDF]

open access: yes
This report summarizes the 2005 results of the North Dakota Land Valuation Model. The model is used annually to estimate average land values by county, based on the value of production from cropland and non-cropland. The county land values developed from

How to include on-farm biodiversity in LCA on food? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of food and agriculture generally include potential effects on global warming, eutrophication, ecotoxocity and acidification some of which again affect biodiversity.

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Response of Organic Carbon Components and Stability to Long-Term Application of Low Doses of Biochar and Biochor-Based Fertilizers

open access: yesAgronomy
Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration plays a vital role in sustaining soil productivity and mitigating climate change. Although biochar and charcoal-based fertilizers are known to enhance SOC sequestration, current understanding is predominantly ...

Large-Scale Crop Mapping Based on Machine Learning and Parallel Computation with Grids

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Large-scale crop mapping provides important information in agricultural applications. However, it is a challenging task due to the inconsistent availability of remote sensing data caused by the irregular time series and limited coverage of the images ...

Agricultural Land Markets and Land Leasing in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia [PDF]

open access: yes
The aim of this study is to identify the driving forces that shape agricultural land structures, land market and land leasing in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Institutional developments and land reforms have so far been modest in the

Synergies in Agricultural Biodiversity Conservation: Decomposing the Interaction Between Nature Parks and Agri‐Environment Schemes

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how policy instruments with overlapping goals interact is crucial for leveraging their synergies. This study explores the mechanisms for regional nature parks (a form of protected areas that impose no restrictions on agriculture) to enhance the adoption of biodiversity‐conserving agri‐environment schemes (AES) in Switzerland ...
